Frederick Dewayne Hubbard (Apr 7, 1938 – Dec 29, 2008) was a bebop, hard bop and post-bop jazz trumpeter, who greatly influenced the progression of those forms. Starting with mellophone and trumpet at Arsenal Technical High School in Indianapolis, IN, he was recommended to the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music where he studied with Max Woodbury, principal trumpeter of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.
